Burn Injury Attorney in West Palm Beach

Burn injuries are some of the most serious, life-altering injuries that an accident victim can suffer, resulting in life-altering consequences.

Here are some of the most common types of burns that can cause serious, life-changing injuries:

• Friction burns: Friction burns are most closely associated with bicycle and motorcycle accidents and can occur when the skin scrapes against a rough surface, such as asphalt or gravel.
• Thermal burns: Thermal burns, as mentioned before, are the most common type of burn injury and result from exposure to flames, steam, and hot liquids.
• Radiation burns: A sunburn is a form of radiation burn, but X-rays and cancer treatments can also cause radiation burns, especially if a medical provider is negligent in their care of the patient.
• Chemical burns: Chemical burns are caused by corrosive substances like acids and solvents. They are most associated with workplace accidents where employees are routinely exposed to harmful chemicals.
• Electrical burns: These burns are often caused by electrocution. It can be the result of faulty or exposed wiring or a defective product.
